Due to a lack of operational capital, it is with deepest regret that Ridgeback Global Resources, Plc has ceased trading. Significant efforts have been made to raise additional capital via equity investors and joint venture partners, but unfortunately, due to the current world economy, the Company has not been successful in raising the funds to allow the necessary development capital to be deployed in our mining claims in Sierra Leone via our joint venture company Ridgeback Mining Sierra Leone Limited.

Consequently, the Board has appointed ZFP Business Recovery LLP ("ZFP") to assist with the winding up of the Company with immediate effect. Please be advised that ZFP will shortly be circularising all shareholders and creditors with details of a forthcoming General Company Meeting and Meeting of Creditors. Their email address is info@zfprecovery.co.uk.

Yours,

T. Cocker - Director
